Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty
Standing on the platform, Jiang Anyi felt chill when he saw the crowd dispersing and a gust of wind blew. To be honest, he really did not want the believers to give charity. If Master Hong Xin had not agreed, Jiang Anyi originally intended to pay for the money to build this temple by himself, just to repay Master Hong Xin's kindness to him.
As a result, the master refused because no matter how much one person gives, it is just a believer. The Buddha saves sentient beings and spreads the Dharma, not asking everyone to give money for incense, but to take good intentions to let more people understand Buddhism and escape the sea of suffering. This is a matter of immeasurable merit.
Seeing Jiang Anyi walking down from the stage with some loss, Master Hong Xin smiled and said, "Jiang Tanyue is attached to the appearance, with kind thoughts and a heart toward Buddhism is the greatest donation. I was in Anlong Temple, and every brick, every tile, every dish and every porridge was all done by myself. Now, why not worry about the difficulty of building this Huangyangshan Temple?"
Some people dispersed and some people surrounded him. When they heard the words of the master, they all said that they would contribute money and efforts to build the Buddhist temple. Master Hong Xin smiled and said, "Praying incense is a great merit of worshiping the Buddha and respecting the Buddha, but you should do your best. My Buddha is compassionate to save the world. If you save food and food in order to worship the Buddha, it is contrary to the original intention of the Buddhists to save themselves first and then save others. You must know that the Buddhists will receive incense from all directions and bring blessings to all directions before they can reveal the Buddhists' intention of saving all sentient beings."
"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful." When everyone heard this, they clasped their hands together, and the more determined the heart of giving, some people were holding silver and copper coins and stuffed them into Master Hongxin's hand.
It would be impossible to be messy. After discussing with Master Hong Xin, Zhao and others, Jiang Anyi returned to the platform and whispered: "Building a Buddhist temple is an immeasurable merit. Everyone has different wealth and poverty, but their hearts towards Buddha are the same. Therefore, this official decided to place a large vat under Xuanhuafang of the county government office. Those who have strong donations might as well invest the money they donated. Just now, the master said that if a family is poor and difficult to spend the day, it might as well take the money into the vat."
Those who were leaving in the distance were all gaining their footholds. What? Not only did they not forcefully recruit money, but they also let them take incense money from the vat for their own use. What is compassion? This is true compassion. It seems that people like me have used the hearts of villains to save the Buddha's valor.
The three of them hugged the clay tank under Xuanhuafang together, about three and a half feet deep. In less than half a day, the entire tank was filled with yellow copper coins. People kept coming to the tank to invest money, and then putting together the Buddha. There was no one guarding the tank. The yamen runners saw the copper coins in the tank overflowing, and after reporting to Jiang Anyi, two more large tanks were added.
These three large jars full of copper coins have become a scene in Fuluo County, demonstrating the hearts of the people of Fuluo County towards Buddha. Someone came from other places to see the three large jars, threw some copper coins into them, and recited "Amitabha" devoutly. Everyone looked at the three large jars in awe. Even the most despicable thief passed by the large jars would not pick up the copper coins rolling on the ground. These copper coins were later cast into huge copper bells and hung in the bell tower of the temple. Whenever the copper bell rings, those who come to worship should stand on the throne and commemorate the grand scene of that day.
The day after the Dharma Assembly ended, Master Hong Xin followed Jiang Anyi to Huangshan Village. Governor Zhao wanted to return to Jingyang Prefecture and also went to Huangyang Village to check it out. The court rewarded the achievements of the extermination of Huangyang Village. Du Jitao and others and Li Ma, the two lieutenants, were promoted to the level. These people talked about Jiang Anyi's contributions. The achievements of martial arts by literati were the dream of countless literati. Jiang Anyi was on a mission to Beimo and fought in Huazhou. Now he suppressed bandits Huangyang. It should be said that he made many military achievements, so Zhao Shulun was full of curiosity about Jiang Anyi.
Huangyang Mountain, the "County Chronicles" records: There are yellow sheep in the sky, and the villagers are named it. Master Hongxin saw that Huangyang Mountain is steep and has beautiful scenery. The grass and trees in the mountains are flourishing, the waterfalls fly down, and the clouds are rolling with the wind. It is a wonderful scene.
Jiang Anyi started from the first level to the mountain gate, and walked upwards. He came to the top of the mountain with his fingers. He came to the top of the mountain. It turned out that the Huangyangzhai Juyi Hall was located. The terrain was open, and with a little modification, it could be built into Daxiong Ding Hall. Master Hongxin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Jiang Tanyue, it is very good to build a temple here. Thank you."
Zhao Shulun sighed: "Half of the famous mountain monks in the world are occupied by the famous mountain. The scenery here is very beautiful. After the temple is built, there will inevitably be many pilgrims. There is one more place in Lizhou."
There is another peak far away from Juyi Hall, and the two peaks are like two horns on a sheep's head. Zhao Shulun pointed to the mountain and asked, "Anyi, where is it? What are you going to build there?"
"It was originally the grain storage place in Huangyangzhai. I planned to build a small academy there. I have written to Deng Shanchang Academy, and asked him to give lectures on the day the academy was completed. By the way, a few great scholars of the scholars were invited to take charge of the academy and add literary style to my Lizhou."
This is a very elegant and famous thing. Zhao Shulun's interest in this is especially on the temple. He asked enthusiastically: "An Yi, you have a good idea. The prefecture is willing to provide full support. It is better to do this. I will arrange the construction of academies and the entrustment of great scholars to teach."
Jiang Anyi thought that this governor Zhao really knew how to pick peaches, and the construction of academies would inevitably cause a big response in the scholars. Once academies produced several Jinshi and Juren, not to mention Lizhou, people would come to study even in nearby states. As the governor of Lizhou, their reputation naturally increased.
However, Jiang Anyi did not plan to fight with governor Zhao. As a scholar, he was responsible for doing something for scholars. Moreover, he would not stay in Fuluo County for a few years. Once the "Tax-to-Tax" pilot was successful, he would leave. He nodded and agreed. Zhao Shulun saw that Jiang Anyi was particularly happy and smiled and said, "Anyi, I have recorded this relationship. If there is anything wrong with the county government, please come to me."
The mountain wind blew the silk on Jiang Anyi's temples, and his young and handsome face shone in the sun. A hint of jealousy flashed in Zhao Shulun's heart. Jiang Anyi was really a capable person. The emperor asked him to come to Fuluo County to promote "tax-to-one". He did not do the important work, but he did two foreign affairs first. He was a big and vigorous thing to do, and even made him go further in his career. Although this son was young, he was extremely clever. Judging from his actions after coming to Fuluo County, he thought carefully and had a skillful means. Such a person can only be friends but not enemies.
Zhao Shulun made up his mind that Jiang Anyi would try to be friendly with him when he was in Fuluo County and lay a smile for the future. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became more and more prosperous.
Governor Zhao is the master of a government office. There are a lot of things waiting for him to make decisions in the yamen. He cannot stay outside for a long time. He bid farewell to Master Hongxin and asked Jiang Anyi to go to the prefecture to talk to him when he had time. He took people down the mountain. Only Master Hongxin and Jiang Anyi were left on the mountain. The two of them started talking casually. Master Hongxin said, "Anyi, I am very satisfied with this place. I will start to rebuild the temple from tomorrow."
Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, where can I get someone?"
"It's okay, there are everything here. Just ask someone to send some food. I will take some apprentices and take action first. After the New Year, it will not be too late to build it with all my might. I think Huangyang Village is well-founded, so it shouldn't take much effort."
Jin Yiming, who was standing beside him, said, "Master, we have nowhere to celebrate the New Year, so why not just follow the master to do some effort during this period."
Because the arrested bandits were serving their sentences, they naturally could not let them go home for the New Year, not to mention that most of them were alone. Jiang Anyi's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "It's so great that these prisoners can build Buddhist temples, and by the way, they can also reduce their sins. Let them build roads after the first month."
When Jiang Anyi returned, he sent people to deliver food. Master Hongxin did what he said. Huangyangzhai demolished the checkpoints and leveled the land, leveled the land according to the terrain, and some materials continued to enter the site. There was no shortage of money for cultivating the temple. Jiang Anyi donated 5,000 taels alone. The officials of Fuluo County raised 800 taels. Of course, the rich pilgrims would not throw copper coins into the jar. The silver notes they donated were sent to Master Hongxin's disciples, about 3,000 taels. Governor Zhao and the officials of the government office donated 1,400 taels. This silver was enough to build the temple.
Although the Chinese New Year is coming, people still start working if they have money, let alone the construction of Buddhist temples and accumulate merits. Many believers even brought their own dry food to the mountain temple to help transport stones and wood. The mountain temples are changing day by day.
Jiang Anyi didn't care about Huangyang Temple anymore. He was a vulgar. The New Year was as big as the sky, and he was in a foreign land to make the New Year lively. During the Chinese New Year, the yamen sealed it, and Jiang Anyi took Dong'er back to Huang's house, where there were Zhang Keji's family, Huang Dongquan and others, which were lively.
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, a group of carriages and horses came outside the door. When Jiang Anyi heard the news, he brought Dong'er to greet him. Seeing Jiang Huang standing in front of the door with a smile, Yan'er standing beside him, almost as tall as Jiang Huang's. In a blink of an eye, seven years passed, and the thin hairy girl had grown into a graceful and graceful girl.
"Mom, why are you here?" Jiang Anyi shouted in surprise.
Jiang Huang looked at her son, and honey was about to drip from her eyebrows. Before she could speak, Yan'er rushed to say, "Brother, is Sister Dong'er pregnant? Am I going to be an aunt?"
Dong'er blushed and was about to bow down to salute. Jiang Huang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "You are a person with a body. Why are you so careless? Don't blink your waist. Hurry, let your mother see, why haven't you shown your pregnancy yet."
"Mom, Master Hong Xin said it's still early in less than two months." Dong'er felt the care of her mother-in-law and responded sweetly and warmly. Yan'er came to Dong'er's side, pulled Dong'er's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. My mother was so happy when she received the news. She immediately asked someone to prepare a car to visit Fuluo County. Fortunately, I was smart, so I followed her. My second brother was left at home to look after the house."
Jiang Anyi patted Yan'er's head docilely and cursed with a smile: "Little girl, I don't recognize me when I grow up. I don't know how to salute me when I see me. Master Zhou will teach you in vain."
"Brother", Yan'er whispered her head in dissatisfaction and said with a pout, "Men and women don't kiss each other, don't treat me as a child, I'm fourteen years old."
Huang Dongquan came over to pay homage to his aunt, and the family walked in with a chat and laughter. Jiang Anyi looked at Yan'er and teased, "Yan'er has grown into a big girl."
Yan'er raised her head proudly and snorted at her brother with her nostrils. However, Jiang Anyi then smiled and said, "It's time for the big girl to find her husband's house."
"Mom, look at my brother's gossip, you won't teach him a lesson." Yan'er blushed and said unrestrainedly.
